February 2020 Ogdensburg Oddities

McFlurry with "shamrock" (mint) flavor added.  I thought it was just oreo flavoured.  That extra squirt of green liquid has very little mint flavor.  I threw it out.

New flavoured waters and salad dressing.  The smartwater ones were not bad.

new kitkats: mint and lemon crisp

Ogdensburg Oddities December 2019

I tried the Whoopie pies.  They were almost expired and dried up.

These tortilla chips were disgusting

I had wanted to try these Totino's mini snacks for a while.  They were greasy and disgusting.

Cheez-it Duoz and xmas Jelly Belly candies were pretty good

I like the red stuff better than other fillings such as caramel or chocolate sauce

Cheese & Onion and Spicy Cheddar.  Both tasted pretty much the same.  They're not making any effort at the Lay's idea factory.

I bought this KitKat at Sobeys for the rip off  price of $1.99 and it was horrible.  The girl at the gas station had told me that it tasted more like brown chocolate than white chocolate, but it did not.  It's like white chocolate, slightly sour taste and burns the back of your mouth.  YUCK

I got C4 at Popeye's.  It is like Gatorade powder but sugar free and with caffeine.

Strawberry Kit Kat - not so good

We went to the Seaway Diner and Smokehouse BBQ restaurant.  It is close to Ogdensburg.  Pretty fun inside and good food too.  This is a cheeseburger with macaroni and cheese and bacon on it.

I found some new and strange KitKats in Sobeys

chocolate roll. I made this from a Jean Pare recipe book.  The icing sugar made me hyper.

rice krispies square recipe by Jean Pare.  It smells just like Reese's peanut butter cups.

Soursops were on sale.

I got this Batman cereal at walmart. It was disgusting. Nobody at work wants to eat it.  It is GREASY and very very dusty.

Not memorable?

One time Fernand's wife made something like this so I was excited to see them in Freshco... but the taste was disappointing compared to the home made one.

Got a GIANT flake in my raisin bran.

Two new flavours of KitKat in Superstore.  The mint one was gross (didn't taste like chocolate).  The Cookies & Cream one was OK, only because it tasted like regular, not like white chocolate.

These cookies were a damn ripoff.  The cookies were very small and there were very few in the box.  Stick to Peek Freans!

 I got this chocolate cheese in Farm Boy.  Ennhh not worth the money.  Might as well eat some Philadelphia chocolate cream cheese.

Sprouted peas from Farm Boy

Chocolate chip bread from France.  I got it in Farm Boy.  Not worth the cost.

Hasselback potatoes

 This is take out chicken curry from Nu Caribbean. I noticed this restaurant while driving around during lunch.  The curry was pretty bland but still good.  The lady at the cash is super nice.

The origin of the Dead Food Society

The Dead Food Society was created by my friend and colleague, Toshi.  He passed away a few years ago.  He made me a membership card once from an aluminum can.  I am not as good a member as he was though, because he would try anything, including plants from outside, and most of it involved real cooking.  I am not as open minded and most of my stuff is store-bought.

I saw these Reese's peanut butter & banana creme cups once in Ogdensburg.

This is a Halifax style donair from King of Donair in Halifax, NS.  The sauce is sweet and tangy.  This food has the same crazy combinations that make McDonald's addictive - sugar, fat, salt, meat, etc. all in one.  I went mental and couldn't sleep after eating it.  I had to eat another one on the next day!  It is really a shame that nothing comes close over here.

international KitKats, orange and canteloupe flavours.  You can buy them on e-Bay and Amazon nowadays. I got these in Square 1 Mal in Markham, ON.

Here is another disgusting Reese's peanut butter cup.. Hazelnut Creme. It was gross. I am not a fan of Nutella.

I got these Turkish chocolate bars from the dollar store.  McChokels and the oozing Kat Kat Tat. 

Lightning Bugs gummy candy.  The tweezers contain an LED.

Jet-Puffed Mallow Bites.  I can eat them all day.  Found them in Watertown, NY Wal-mart Supercenter.
